START: When we knew Rachel was goin’ t’have a baby, every month I bought ‘er a new pot of paint. Different colours, like. The ninth one was to be blue if she ‘ad a boy, primrose yellow if it were a girl.
[...]
END: I regret that now, Will. All them wasted years. Till you come along. (Putting his hand on William’s shoulder) Better to accept than pretend he never existed.
